141: Snakes Canonically Love Rainbows (CHALICE OF THE GODS Ch 19-24)

This week, we're predicting the plot of Wrath of the Triple Goddess (out September 23, 2024!!!). But of course, we can't do things normally, because we're Camp Half-Pod. We turn our predictions into a competitive BINGO game, and you can play along and make your own BINGO sheet if you want! This is the free BINGO generator we used: https://myfreebingocards.com/bingo-card-generator
We then wrap up the episode with some more audio messages and a discussion of what's next.

We are finally caught up on all PJO-universe books! Round of applause for Camp Half-Pod. This week, we are discussing the final chapters of Chalice of the Gods. Percy completes his quest, and we learn what clotted cream is (it’s a big day for all of us). The book wraps up nicely with some Sally, Paul, and Annabeth time. We wonder how Poseidon calls Percy. It reminds us of The Horse (RIP). We give our final thoughts on this book, read some theories and questions you all have sent us, and then talk about what’s next for Camp Half-Pod!

This week we are joined by our friend Ishanie! Ishanie, long time Percy Jackson fan and person who knew us in high school, gets to hear us get low key emotional about growing old. Percy faces Geras, the god of old age (our predictions were right!!). We come down firmly against loin cloths. Manasa wishes Geras wore a cute old man sweater. Erin reads multiple passages from the book because these chapters are deep. Percy gives old age a nice hug, and then heads up to Olympus to help out our guy Ganymede. We all are very offended by Percy’s take on brunch. Thanks to Ishanie for joining us!!

This one starts off strong, with Percy enchanting a bunch of snakes with a rainbow (the snakes say gay rights!). They complete their quest for Iris, and in exchange learn about a mysterious Gary (not the snail), who has likely stolen the cup. Percy gives relationship advice to Grover. Erin still thinks Grover is a bad boyfriend. Sally announces her pregnancy to Percy, and we come down hard against gender reveals. Percy makes sure we all know that he is a Good and Responsible Boy. He's also not very good at research. We make some strong predictions at the end of this episode, and it will be embarrassing if we're wrong.

This week we are joined by our new friend Mal from Demigod Debut Podcast to talk all about The River Elisson and Yonkers. Mal confesses to crimes almost immediately. Erin thinks Grover is a bad boyfriend again. What was the point of Blanche? We’re not sure. Mal, a New York resident, gives us some context on Yonkers. We give Percy a new name. He is now known as Swimmy. Percy cleans a river, Annabeth gives a god some therapy, and Grover sings snake songs. Make sure to give Demigod Debut a follow @demigoddebutpod!

Did you know there is deep lore about Hebe and lettuce? Well, you do now! Tune in to learn about how lettuce might be Hebe’s real dad. Also, Percy, Annabeth, and Grover fight some chickens as 8 year olds (classic shenanigans). We get some insight on a normal demigod week. We lament growing older and sound like we’re pushing 60 despite not even being 30. We make some predictions for the next few chapters and then discuss fountain drinks.

We are so excited to start Chalice of the Gods with you all and get back to reading about Percy, Annabeth, and Grover! We start off with chapters 1-6, and celebrate the return of first person Percy. There are some real sweet Percabeth moments in these first few chapters. Also, Sally Jackson. Percy embarks on his new quest, with the help of his besties. Manasa deep dives on Ganymede, the original twink, and we revisit our time at Rick’s book tour for this book. We finish up by discussing PowerPuff Girls and candy.

Camp Half-Pod completes another book! We are wrapping up The Sun and The Star this week with the final chapters. Nico realizes that he can leave behind his trauma baby demons. They defeat Nyx with the help of Nyx's own children. Bob gets to see the sky again! The cacodemons are rebranded as the Cocoa Puffs, which Manasa low-key hates and Erin loves. Nico and Will get back to camp and we have a very classic Riordan ending. We then give our overall thoughts on this book, aka repeating all the points we've been making along the way and yapping a lot. Then we hear some fun audio messages from you all! Thanks for joining us for another book! ————————————————————— SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SUPPORT US ON KO-FI: https://ko-fi.com/camphalfpod SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod JOIN OUR DISCORD: https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr MERCH: https://www.zazzle.com/store/camphalfpod --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

We lose our minds a bit in this one. Nico and Will finally reach Nyx’s house! It’s made of bugs! Manasa accuses Nyx of being poor and boring, and not able to afford real walls. Manasa also projects onto Dr. Thorn this week, in a turn of events nobody saw coming. Bob is being kept in a Bob Pod in the Bug House. Is Nico the star? Or is he actually the sun? And isn’t the sun a star anyways? Oh! And Nico becomes a father in this episode! He adopts his trauma. Somebody who wrote this book has been to therapy (and it’s not Rick). Have fun listening to us lose our minds a bit!
